Gaming Goals Review: February
I started this back in June 2015, and have been keeping up with it this past month. I’ve kept reducing my goals due to real life, and I think I hit a stride heading into December, and have kept it up for the most part. For the sake of comparison WildStar Finish Celestion achievements Get Bauxyte to level 40 Completed! Cycle through toons to burn rested EXP Completed!

Community Game-Along Game Choices, Part 1
Community Game-Along Image by Chic Pixel Not too long ago I mentioned stumbling upon the Community Game-Along challenge for 2016, which featured dating sim games for January. This has apparently been put on for a few years by Apricot Sushi, and I figured why not try it out? But looking at the list, some months are going to be much easier than others. And some I just might need some suggestions, so I hope folks have some! I wanted to lay out what I wanted to play, though, so it was easier to keep track of why I had specific games in my Steam library, for instance, or which games…

Gaming Goals: February
I started these Gaming Goals posts back in June 2015 as a way to try to organize my gaming time around freelance obligations as well as my day-job and general life obligations. You can view the backlog of goals and reviews here. Love is in the air! And fortunes too, apparently. I think January had a good length list with both some easy and not-so-easy goals to work toward. I’m going to try to continue that flow this month. WildStar Finish Celestion achievements Get Bauxyte to level 40 Cycle through toons to burn rested EXP Upload completed Yardcore 10 Final Fantasy XIV WAR 50 FSH 30 BOT 30 MIN 30…

Gaming Goals Review: January
I started this back in June 2015, and have been keeping up with it this past month. I’ve kept reducing my goals due to real life, and I think I hit a stride heading into December, and have kept it up for the most part. Look! I made a pretty chart of my game time for the month! WildStar Get my last AP (48 total) point! Completed! Rune out my DPS set with class runes (pants) Completed! (And put them in shoulders) Get my tanking set figured out on Chestnut Completed! Level up alts to burn up all the rested XP they have Completed! FFXIV Cactuar WAR 50 PLD 40 ARC 25 CNJ 20 TSW…

#DatingSimonth: Men of Yoshiwara
#DatingSimonth Image from Chic Pixel So apparently I missed the memo, but there’s this really cool initiative going around for 2016 called Community Game Alongs. And this month, it happens to revolve around dating sims! How did I miss this?! Having just gotten into Otome, I’ve been devouring everything I could find, buying up any I could find on Steam with great deals, and generally building a collection so I always have one to play if I don’t feel like playing on Mobile. And looking at the rest of the schedule, I can see myself participating in quite a few more of them, especially after I buy myself a Vita…

Gaming Goals: January
I’ve been enjoying putting together this gaming goals thing I decided to try out in June. It’s helped me focus my time and come up with blog posts. Life has remained at a constant busy-level thanks to work, so my goals are going to remain small for now. I got this in the bag. WildStar Get my last AP (48 total) point! Rune out my DPS set with class runes (pants) Get my tanking set figured out on Chestnut Level up alts to burn up all the rested XP they have FFXIV Cactuar WAR 50 PLD 40 ARC 25 CNJ 20 TSW Finish the bloody Blue Mountains already Steam Finish Tokiwa’s endings…

#Listmas: Holiday Questionnaire Fun
So I’m getting back from vacation and into the swing of things. I figured I’d take it easy and do something simple to get me back into the swing of writing. I stumbled upon this cute little questionnaire over at A Life More Kawaii, and figured I’d fill it out as a way to exercise my brain and fingers. Art by Momo-Deary Favorite holiday movie?White Christmas is away and by far my favorite holiday movie in existence. I’ve always loved the movies that my Grandmother would play for us as kids (1950s movies and the like), and White Christmas just stuck with me. Plus, it’s Bing singing great songs. What…

Delving into Otome
Otome in the Social Sphere I started listening to a new podcast, called Heroines of the Cherry Blossom (or CBHeroines), mainly because I enjoy the ladies on it, and not really knowing much about it. I soon learned that it covers the otome genre, which is something I’ve been interested in ever since playing through Hatoful Boyfriend. I’ve learned a lot from Pizza‘s and Sushi‘s podcast, and chatting with them on Twitter, and you should check them out! In fact, in their latest podcast, they talked a bit about Hatoful Boyfriend. We had gotten into a discussion on Twitter, and Sushi asked me why I enjoyed the game so much.…

Steam Challenge: Hatoful Boyfriend
The Steam Challenge This post is a part of #IntPiPoMo! You can find out more, and sign up at this link. For those of you who haven’t heard about this “Steam Challenge” thing, here’s the TL;DR. Yup. That pretty much sums it up. Now, I definitely don’t have as many games as some other folks do hiding away in Steam, but I do have a lot that are downloaded and half-played. But I have the tendency to download new ones without ever getting rid of the old ones. #IntPiPoMo 7/50 So I’m changing the Steam Challenge for my own personal use: Beat a downloaded game before downloading another. And “beat” could…

Gaming Goals Review: August
I started this back in June 2015, and have been keeping up with it this past month. I had reduced my goals for July because I knew that we would have limited play time as we had ten days of vacation time, as well as getting ready to move on August 1st. So, let’s see if tuning down my goals made them easier to accomplish! Goals: Relax and game! WildStar Goals Chestnut Reach the max tier of the PvP contracts for the first time ever Reach max reputation in Crimson Badlands Reach max rep in Northern Wastes Complete my AMP (55) and AP (48) points Put up Yardcore Nexus twice once for the…
